Pressure group Ibhetshu Likazulu blasted the government for shutting out journalists from secret Gukurahundi hearings. Traditional chiefs recently launched meetings where victims of 1980s mass killings can tell their stories. President Emmerson Mnangagwa's administration refuses to explain what they want from these proceedings. The media ban has sparked fears that officials plan to cover up the truth about the atrocities. Critics worry the closed-door sessions will produce a whitewashed version of events.
The advocacy organization demands transparency and inclusion of all affected parties. Chiefs must hear from victims across Matabeleland, Midlands, and Bulawayo plus those living abroad. The group insists perpetrators should also share...
Zimbabwe cops have gone global in their hunt for rogue war veteran Blessed Geza. The Zimbabwe Republic Police called in Interpol and regional security forces to track down the fugitive politician. Geza faces serious charges of undermining President Emmerson Mnangagwa and stirring up public violence. The former Zanu PF central committee member got the boot from the ruling party back in April. Party bosses kicked him out for causing trouble and refusing to follow orders.
Geza had publicly blasted Mnangagwa for corruption and terrible leadership that wrecked the country. Police spokesperson Commissioner Paul Nyathi confirmed Zimbabwe had officially asked Interpol to help catch the wanted man. Regional police forces across southern Africa...
Mutapa Investment Fund bosses are rolling out a bare-bones rescue plan for the busted National Railways of Zimbabwe. Chief executive John Mangudya wants to fix what they have instead of buying flashy new trains that nobody can afford. The fund plans to pump between 7 million and 10 million US dollars into workshops, freight payments, and rented locomotives. Mangudya believes gradual repairs will prove the railway can actually make money before investors open their wallets wider. The strategy focuses on getting existing equipment back on track rather than splashing cash on brand new gear.
Mangudya breaks down the costs like a shopping list for railway repairs. Fixing broken wagons needs under 1 million dollars while locomotive repairs...
Zimbabwe cops have had enough of fake anti-corruption groups trying to pull the wool over people's eyes. Commissioner Paul Nyathi stepped forward to blast organizations masquerading as legitimate watchdogs. These bogus outfits have been running around claiming they work with the Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission or police force. Nyathi warned that dodgy characters are leading some of these phony civic bodies. The police chief made it crystal clear that legal action awaits anyone caught operating under false pretenses.
The crackdown comes after ZACC publicly shamed 15 organizations for impersonating the commission. Groups like Act Against Corruption and Coalition Against Corruption Trust made the naughty list along with Crime...

The Actuarial Society of Zimbabwe pushed its members to stop just giving advice and start making real changes happen across finance, healthcare, and government policy. These finance experts crunch numbers and analyze data to help companies and governments figure out risks from accidents, disasters, and economic troubles. Zimbabwe desperately needs more actuaries because the shaky economy has forced many businesses to shut down or seek bailouts. The society held its 11th annual meeting in Nyanga from Wednesday through Friday with the theme about turning insights into actual results. Outgoing president Prosper Matiashe told members they need to stop walking away after giving recommendations and start helping put their ideas into action...

Zimbabwe claims it became the fifth-largest economy in Southern Africa after officials rebased the country's GDP from 35.2 billion to 44.4 billion US dollars. The government says per capita income will reach 3,000 dollars by 2025 and the economy will achieve upper middle-income status by 2030. Former Finance Minister Tendai Biti blasted the figures as complete fiction and called the rebasing a fraudulent political ritual. He accused officials of creating fake numbers while millions of Zimbabweans struggle with poverty, hunger, unemployment and hyperinflation. Biti says the economy actually shrunk over the past five years due to factory closures, power shortages and currency problems.
Finance Minister Mthuli Ncube defended the rebased...
